Do you mean there has to be a default start value for a custom field?

Do you mean that any contact number that is entered will be either 9XXXX... or 8XXXX...?

Do you want an error message to be shown if someone enters say 7654... in the custom field?

I believe that this sort of customization usually requires some programming.

The general formula is (1) figure out which screens need the custom behavior, (2) write some Javascript to implement the behavior, and (3) inject the Javascript code on each screen. There's some examples on this topic:

There's also http://wiki.civicrm.org/confluence/display/CRMDOC/hook_civicrm_validateForm which I suspect might come in handy (for others that stumble across this post).
